Description

Lots of "firsts" here for me: First real attempt at narrowband with my new ASI2600MM Pro camera using Ha and Oiii data.  First light of my new IOptron CEM70-nuc mount with a new (NUC) computer on the mount.  First attempt to process with Pixinsight (although I stacked with Siril, then imported the FITS result files for each channel into Pixinsight for channel combination and all subsequent post processing).

Data was captured over two nights in July (7/18 and 7/19) -- 45 3 minute Ha subs and 32 Oiii subs.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the results and detail giving the seeing conditions, and the fact that I'm still trying to learn Pixinsight.  :-)
